The story ends on a rainy night, when Cain returns to the village.

His shirt is soaked, his face is cold but his eyes are confused.

Moira stands waiting in the door, and Ella appears from a distance, holding a suitcase.

No one says a word, only the sound of thunder rumbles.

Suddenly, a gunshot rings out. Everyone turns – it is John, still alive, appearing in the middle of the village road. He smiles weakly, holding a weapon. Cain rushes forward, Moira screams, Ella panics. A shot goes off, everything stops for a moment.

When the smoke clears, John collapses. Cain holds the gun, but his eyes are only on Ella. She stands trembling, her mouth saying: “No… not you…” The scene ends in the rain, the necklace falls to the ground – the thing Cain once gave Moira, now stained with blood.

The episode ends with Ella sitting in a police car, her eyes blank; Cain with his hands tied, and Moira collapsed in the middle of the road. Emmerdale proves once again: in this village, no one is truly innocent – ​​only those who can endure more pain.

And when the ending music plays, the audience is still bewildered: Did Cain really kill John? Or was it Ella who pulled the trigger? All will be revealed in the next series of episodes – where Emmerdale promises to make viewers “fall in love” many more times.
